Quote from @Shaun Ortiz: Simple question about closing day in the Buffalo area:For those who have recently bought or sold property here, is it the standard custom to receive the keys at the closing table after all documents are signed and funds are wired, or is there usually a delay until the deed is recorded the next business day?

Belize Teak is too long of a capital and knowledge intensive deal so that’s off the table as a suggestion.I think there are tons of investments out there.   

It seems like when you get the quote and when you get to the closing table the loan rate changes from the quote to the signing - how can this be avoided? 

I always aim to bring more than just a quote to the table—whether that’s strategic advice, local connections, or just being someone reliable in your corner.Outside of insurance, I’m diving into the investment world myself, especially small-to-mid-sized multifamily.

Currently leveraging networking, direct outreach, and off-market strategies (driving for dollars, lists, and referrals) to bring motivated sellers to the table for properties.

.- I work in Southlake, so I’m aiming for something within 30 minutes of there (or nearby areas).While I don’t bring a large amount of capital to the table right now, I do bring time, flexibility, and a strong willingness to learn and put in the work.

I've seen nearly identical strip centers priced wildly differently purely because of tenant quality and lease structure.The NNN leases are a game changer, no more getting calls about leaking sinks or broken HVACs (as long as it's spelled out right in the lease).

Honestly, the best first step is just getting into the game in a way that fits your comfort level and finances, whether that’s house hacking, BRRRR, or picking up a simple long-term rental to get experience.

They’ve raised capital and want to scale into acquisitions, and I’d essentially be building things out with them from the ground up.The offer on the table is:- Base Salary: $60K- Bonus: $10K flat per closed dealMy background is limited to a few real estate internships, so they’d be putting a lot of faith in my growth and development here.

Hi Barry, great to see you back in the game!
